Recipe for a killer cookie--I mean tour.
ALL booked tours to remain intact
Tires (on the traveling vehicle) that stay filled with air
A ton of fabulous conversations with those in the audience
?#% (a lot of) People come to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior at the concerts


Prayer Requests:

  • Pray that in the midst of our support raising that we would keep our eyes on the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Heb 12:2).
  • Pray that the summer project bands would have killer tours (see above for what a killer tour is)


God is better than anything life can give us and is better than anything death can take away.
-Tim Keller
